We made it! – Believe Creative Studio at Indigo Paris blog hop

I learned a lot this summer holiday. I learned that you sometimes need to ignore your fears and take the bull by the horns, that the more you do something the easier it gets, that most of the time when you think you won’t manage, you do and that having support when you work alone is priceless.

Two months ago I decided to collaborate with Believe Creative Studio as a guest designer – as part of a group of 17. Our designs would be selling at Indigo Paris 2012. It took me a while to get rid of the worries as it would be my first ‘real life’ experience as a surface pattern designer and I dreaded failure. Now I can say, I’m glad I did!

What made this such a wonderful experience was the amazing support, feedback and camaraderie that I found from Rosie (BCS’s founder) and the other 16 designers. This is a little homage to all of them. Do visit some of their blogs/websites to see for yourselves what a lovely and talented bunch they are:

I am a designer, originally from Colombia and now living permanently in Cornwall, UK. I graduated in Product Design but since then have mostly worked in graphics for print and web. A few years ago I decided to specialise in Surface Pattern Design and I'm loving it!

Very nice post Veronica. Your pattern with the paperdolls is great, very simple and shows off the idea of our connection and unity quite well. I’ve enjoyed seeing your designs through this process and I wish you great success at Indigo & beyond!
